Ateman reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Ateman was elevated for Week 9 to provide wide receiver depth against the Giants, but the wideout failed to play on any offensive snaps during the contest. Ateman did, however, play three snaps on special teams.

Snead reverted to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Snead played on just 17 offensive snaps in his debut with the Panthers, playing behind Robby Anderson, DJ Moore and Terrace Marshall. The veteran wideout caught one of his two targets for six yards. Snead will now rejoin the practice squad and await his next opportunity to be elevated to the active roster.

Shepherd was signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Shepherd spent training camp in Kansas City but was unable to make the initial 53-man roster. The 26-year-old appeared in 14 games for Green Bay over the previous two seasons and has six catches for 47 yards while also operating as a return man.

Dortch reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday.

Dortch was elevated to the Cardinals' active roster for Week 9 as Arizona was without DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) and A.J. Green (reserve/COVID-19). The receiver played four offensive snaps and nine special teams snaps in the Cardinals' win over the 49ers. Dortch will likely stay on the Cardinals' practice squad barring any injuries to Arizona's starting receivers.

Montgomery (hamstring) was a limited participant in the Saints' practice Wednesday.

Montgomery suffered a hamstring injury ahead of the Saints' Week 9 contest and was unable to suit up against the Falcons. It's possible Kenny Stills sees an increased role once again in Week 10 if Montgomery is unable to play against the Titans.

The Saints activated Humphrey off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Humphrey was placed onto the Saints reserve/COVID-19 list before Week 8. The receiver tested positive for the virus and was forced to miss Week 8 and 9 for New Orleans. Expect Humphrey's return to the field to have a minimal impact on the Saints' offense.

Hinton (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity for the Broncos on Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

While it's uncertain when the receiver injured his shoulder, Hinton's injury isn't considered to be serious. If Hinton is unable to play against the Eagles in Week 10, expect Tyrie Cleveland to fill in as Teddy Bridgewater's fourth receiving option.

Beckham is considering contract offers from up to eight teams as of Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Per Dianna Russini of ESPN, the leaders for Beckham's services appear to be the Chiefs, Packers and Saints, but teams like the Seahawks and Patriots also have been mentioned as suitors after the Browns cut him loose earlier this week. He likely is seeking a destination with a combination of top quarterback play, reasonable compensation and a chance to compete for a Super Bowl. Beckham will be subject to a physical before he puts pen to paper on a new contract, as he's been tending to a right shoulder injury since Week 3. In six appearances this season, he's averaged 13.6 yards per catch on his 17 receptions (34 targets) but has yet to reach the end zone.

Allen didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Miller speculates that Allen was held out mostly as a precaution, a notion that would be supported by a return to the practice field on the wideout's part -- in any capacity -- come Thursday. In the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Eagles, Allen was on the field for 62 of a possible 69 snaps and caught 12 of his 13 targets for 104 yards. Overall, he's averaging 75 receiving yards on 10.3 targets per game.

Harry (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Harry was inactive for this past Sunday's win over the Panthers after being added to the Patriots' Week 9 injury report Friday. His ability to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday is a good sign, but Harry's status for this weekend's game against the Browns has yet to be solidified. When healthy, he's been working as the Patriots' No. 4 wideout behind Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne.
